UNANIMOUSLY: That the Adult Health and

Reasons for Decision

 

 

9.3.1
 
 
 
 
9.3.2

The Local Account highlights our strengths and areas
of challenge for 2022 to 2023 and sets out priorities for the
future. It emphasises our journey towards enabling people to live
the life they want to live and in particular enabling people to
live independently at home.

 

Having a Local Account builds in transparency and
accountability in relation to reporting on adult social care
performance.

Alternatives Considered and Rejected

 

 

9.4.1
 
 
 
9.4.2
 

Sheffield City Council could
opt to not publish a Local Account for 22/23. However, the council
would then need to find a different way to demonstrate the
statutory duty of accountability for the Director of Adult Social
Services.
 
We believe the Local Account is
the best way to demonstrate the statutory duty of
accountability.
